Charter a private jet for private passions/hobbies
In a world that is becoming ever more homogenised and places can feel the same from place to place, it is more important than ever for people to express their personal passions, personalities and hobbies.
What to collect? Everything from art to automobiles
It is no surprise that more and more individuals are either starting to explore a passion for collecting or developing and extending their current collections of precious items in everything from art and antiques to automobiles.
Antique treasures, unique pieces of art and rare and beautifully crafted collector’s items help us express our true nature, showing the artistic and aesthetic sides of our personality.
Not to mention that these beautiful items make gorgeous additions to our homes and places of work.
Seeking out art - an art in itself
Seeking out these special treasures is an art in itself, and part of the process is being sharp enough to spot something and swift enough to act, by bidding on or travelling to secure that precious, perhaps once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece or rare objet.
Private jet travel: quickly schedule travel plans
This is where private jet travel really comes into its own. It’s the ideal way to quickly schedule travel plans, arrive quickly and safely and prep, plan and prepare for your buying or collecting trip in a discreet and private space.
Transport items via personal private jet or LunaJets cargo
Another advantage is that smaller pieces that customers acquire immediately can be transported safely on your private plane, whilst larger pieces, such as cars can be transported via our specialist cargo fleet solutions.
